[Verse 1]
When I was a young boy
Said put away those young boy ways

I long for those young boy days
With a girl like you
With a girl like you
Lord knows there are things we can do, baby
Just me and you
Come on and make it a
[Chorus]
Hurt so good
Come on, baby, make it hurt so good
Sometimes love don't feel like it should
You make it hurt so good
[Verse 2]
You don't have to be so exciting
Just trying to give myself a little bit of fun, yeah
You always look so inviting
You ain't as green as you are young
Hey, baby, it's you
Come on, girl, now it's you
Sink your teeth right through my bones, baby
Let's see what we can do
Come on and make it a
[Chorus]
Hurt so good
Come on, baby, make it hurt so good
Sometimes love don't feel like it should
You make it
A-hurt so good
[Bridge]
I ain't talking no big deals
I ain't made no plans myself
I ain't talking no high heels
Maybe we could walk around all day long
Walk around all day long
Uh
[Chorus]
Hurt so good
Come on, baby, make it hurt so good
Sometimes love don't feel like it should
You make it hurt so good
[Chorus]
Hurt so good (Come on baby, now)
Come on, baby, make it hurt so good
Sometimes love don't feel like it should
You make it hurt so good
